The Case of the Missing Corpse

This is a version that I recorded with some students. Feel free to have a listen:

The Case of the Missing Corpse

I co-wrote this with a friend of mine Noel Pattern. Its a comedy script following a private eye in AD 33 Jerusalem tracking down the missing body of Jesus of Nazereth. I have written several pantomimes in the past, which may become evident on reading. The cover is from a CD copy of a radioplay version I put together with a group of students. It takes about 30 minutes and would be great for an Easter event/service. It follows the crucifiction/resurection story very closely.

One day if I get a budget I would love to do a film version of the script.

If you would like to do a perfomance just drop me a line using the contact form below.

I enjoy collaberations so if there is a project you think might be fun to work on together do drop me a line.
